Six Flags

Tyler, Colby and I had an AWESOME day today at Six Flags with our best buddies, Kim, Kayla and Brooklyn! Tyler earned a free ticket this past year in Kindergarten for reading a certain number of hours with us at home, so I had promised him a trip there sometime this summer. Quite the nice little marketing scam they have going on there at Six Flags . . .give the kid a free ticket so his parent has to buy a ticket, which means the other sibling wants to go as well, then they have to buy the incredibly overpriced food there since they don't let you take any food in with you. Oh, and there's the $15 parking fee to boot. Little did they know, however, that this mama would get another free ticket for sibling, Colby, from Kayla, who earned a free ticket this year as well, but who didn't need it since she has a season pass. And since Kim has a season pass, she could get me in for only $10. And she paid for parking (sweet friend!). So, this mama didn't feel too overpriced at lunchtime paying for pizza when the only thing she had to cough up was the $10 for her ticket! ha! Take that, Six Flags!! he!

Really, we had such a fun day and Kim and I really had fun watching our kiddos get to be together. Here's some shots from our fun filled day:
You know those guys with the cameras who want to take your picture on the way in (and all over the park) then want you to pay so much money to buy it there? Well, when they told us to get together for a picture, I sweetly just asked him if he wouldn't mind taking one with my camera instead. Sweet man . . .he was so nice to do that for me.

Tyler declined to ride "the pirate boat", and when Colby got off, it was very apparent that he did NOT like that one. It made his tummy feel funny, he said. I knew exactly the feeling he was talking about . . I hadn't minded staying off with Tyler myself! It had so startled him that his gum that he was chewing fell out of his mouth and had gotten stuck in his shirt. Poor kiddo!

This was a fun little skyscraper ride, and a fun photo op to boot!! he!

Waiting for the train ride . . .had to have a "silly picture" after the "smiling picture". I thought the silly one was more true of our kids to be honest, so it's the only one you'll see here!

Oh, and Brady had a fabulous day NOT at Six Flags but with his super Aunt Moni! This is the shirt I wrote about earlier . . .the "I tried to be good, but then I got bored" one. Here he is trying hard to open a bottle of lotion so he can spread it all over his body. Thankfully his mommy caught him before he got the cap open. Little stinker!! And all that mess in the floor behind him - that's from his morning wanderings as well!
